THROUGH A BRIDGE.
4 Passenger Train G oes Into a Creek
-.NO Lives Lost.

CLEVELAND, Feb. IA bad railroad
smash-up occurred this morning about 1
o'clock on the Cleveland & Pttsburg rail-
road just south of the city limits. A bridge
gave way under an express train, but
luckily no lives were lost. The bridge was
of iron, about sixty feet long. and eighteen
above the water. The heavy rains had
swollen the creek into torrent, and it is
supposed that the flood undermined the
stone abutments. When the locomotive
struck the bridge the engineer felt it trem-
BILE. He passed over it in safety,
however. and the baggage and
express cars went over with
out accident. The smoking car had only
got fairly upon the bridge when it sagged
downward. and with sudden shock the
train was brought to stand still. Had the
train been running at the regular rate of
speed, terrible disaster would have oc-
cured; but the engineer was going very
cautiously. on account of the flooded condi-
threw the baggage and express cars over on
their sides into the ditch. The engineer,
ID. Sterrett, and the fireman, j. Hines,
were thrown down the embankment and
rolled into the creek. The tender re-
manned on the track. The smoking car
caught just between the abutments and
held partly by the debris of the bridge.
remained midway between the water and
the level of the track. Only one passen-
ger and a brakeman were in it, and. they
succeeded in climbing out without injury
Baggageman John Kenney was hurled
violently against the side of the car when
it went over, and was seriously cut about
the head. 1t is feared that he received in
ternal injuries. Mr.. Kenney is an i'm
portant witness against the uncaught muir
derers of Detective Hulligan. The express
messenger was badly shaken up. and es-
capped with few cuts on the hands and
arms. The first truck of the passenger car
went over the abutment and rested upon
the end of the smoker. 1t contained fifteen
people, four of whom were ladies. Beyond
a general shaking up and bad scare no
damage was done them. just after the
accident fire broke out among some waste"
in one corner of the baggage car. but it was
quickly eXtinguished. Firemen Hines was
badly bruised about the legs by his fall. A
wrecking train was only short distance in
the rear. 1t was quickly put in operation.
Not much damage was done outside of the
injury to the smoking car and bridge.

Archbishop Corrjsan Strikes Back.

New York Mail and Express: Arch.
bishop Corrigan has launched another
bolt at the friends and supporters Of
DR.. McGlynn. The Catholic Herald has
been a staunch supporter OF McGlynn and
has directed some fierce assaults upon the
archbishop and Mgr. Preston. Now the
archbishop has struck back. He has adj
dressed a letter to the editor OF the Her.
aid, in which he calls attention to the fact
that as the Herald assumes to he a Catholic
paper, it must obey the injunction which the
third plenary council placed on all Catholic
writer's to refrain from attacking publicly
the manner in which any bishop rules his
diocese. He concludes his letter as follows:
For some time past the utterances OF the
Chatolic Herald have been %shockingly
scandalous. As this paper is published in
the diocese, I hereby warn you that if you
continue in this course OF conduct it will
be at your peril. If this warning is not
obeyed the journal in question will be
publicly denounced from every Catholic
pulpit in the CITY," As this is the first
time for many years that any American
Catholic Journal has been condemned, this
case will cause wild comment.

Mr.. Whitman said that when Lincoln
was slain the lilacs were in bloom, and
that there were lots ofthem near his
house, and SO the sight and odor of the
lilacs always brought back the tragedy
to him. Wilson Barrett sentMr. Whit
man a wreath of laurel, and it hung on
achair back of the stage while the poet
read his lecture. When Mr.. Whit

came out with a basket of lilacs in
bloom, and the poet took the lilacs
and kissed the little girl twice.

The fact that over ten million
pounds OF artificial butter have been
sold in this country within three
months under the new law should set
the whilom denouncers of "axle-greese
BUTTER thinking. How this consump-
ton compares with that under tho old
regime does not appear. Even if it is
less, it is certainly still large enough
to dispel the illusion that nobody
would buy it knowing it's nature.

The Governor of Minnesota has g

The Governor of Minnesota has ap-
pointed Saturday the 3Oth day of
April as Arbor Day, and commended
it's general observance by the planting
on that day of vines, trees and
shrubs along the highways and on
public and private grounds. The 3Oth
of April was also appointed as Arbor
Day IN Massachusetts. Governor
Beaver OF Pennsylvania, named the
22d of April as Arbor Day, he imbod-
led l n his proclamation some admira-
BILE and practical suggestions as to it's
observance which are calculated to
inspire interest in it. He calls upon
everybody, from the school chill
dren to the farmers, to unite in
doing something to make the
day what it it's intended it
shall be-one OF general tree-planting
throughout the Commonwealth. Some
fifteen years ago Arbor Day was insti-
tuted, the first proclamation coming
from the Governor of Nebraska. The
good example was quickly followed by
other Western States and afterwards
by the Eastern section of the country,
so that now g. large number of the
States are united in the work. But
still, the complaint is heard that the
average farmer is too busy to give more
than a passing thought to the SUBJ
ject. This indifference among those
who have the best facili-
ties for tree planting is deplorable.
The highways everywhere can be made
inviting with an abundance of shade
trees, and grounds about churches
and school. buildings beautifed and
improved in the same way. The own
er o fland OF whatever character should
neglect no opportunity to put the
waste places to good use by the Guilt
walton of such trees as may be most
appropriate or important to the sur
roundings. The observance Of Arbor
Day has not been heretofore entered
into with such enthusiasm as it should
be, and it can be made asource OF
real pleasure.

Bradstreet on the Real Estate Boom.

Bradstreet's gives q review of the re.
markable BOOM in real estate in the south
and west during the past six months. The
article says: ID
The activity of real estate within six
months has been very conspicuous. the first
four months of 1887 witnessing an extra
ordinary increase in the speculative inter.
est. Reports from twenty three cities
and towns are represented, detailing the
growth OF investment and speculation in
real estate, with details as to leading
causes and the outcome thus far. The
cities reported have enjoyed a real estate
'boom," which in some instances 10 based
mainly on speculative influences. The de.
mand for real estate and appreciation in
values in the iron and coal districts of the
South is especially noteworthy. In the
West, Wichita, Kan, with increase in val.
ues and building generally, is a striking ex.
ample OF possible growth. St. Joseph, Mo-,
and Duluth, Mimi, separated as they are,
seem representatives OF the far reach
ing nature OF the increased activity.
As the older cities like st. Paul, Mime.
apolis and Milwaukee are reached, the inn
provement is less q matter OF wonder. In
the Ohio valley, Louisville has shown the
greater relative increase nasthis direction,
owing to the previous low value at which
land was held. New York, Philadelphia

says:
The proceedings and findings in
the case OF Major Frederick w. Ben

are hereby approved. In view OF his
long and honorable service, and the repu-
tation he has earned for bravery and
soldierly qualities, so sadly injured by the
s%candalous conduct OF which he has justly
been found guilty, and by his insubordinate
behavior upon his trial, Ihave determined,
in the hope that a remaining sense OF hon.
or and an unextinguished regard for his
military profession will lead to further
valuable service in the army, to mitigate
his sentence of dismissed from the service
OF the United States to suspension from
rank and duty for the term OF one year.,
